{mani of the week}

Hi there! I hope you are all having a fabulous week! Thanks to everyone who came and linked up to Made With Love! Such wonderful crafty inspiration as usual! It's not too late to share your projects. Link up HERE.

I painted my nails a super fun color this week and I wanted to share it with you! 

I really wanted a turquoise color and I love Essie's Turquoise and Caicos, but $8 for nail polish was not in my budget this week. Instead I got Sinful Colors Mint Apple with is nearly identical to Essie's, but only $1.99. YES!!! The SC has a bit of gold shimmer to it too which is fun.

Here's the how to:

• paint a layer of base coat
• two layers of Mint Apple
• rainbow glitter (OPI) on one finger
• top coat over everything
• apply the Dry Kwik and be amazed at how fast you can head out the door!

I'm linking up with my friends "the Heather's" of Glitter and Gloss and Just Lovely things for their Mani Party!

So right now, I am majorly obsessed with painting my nails. I love that such a small task can make me feel so pretty. Here is what I went with this week!

 

Mint! And I love it!!!! 

I know a lot of people are loving the Revlon Minted polish, but I picked up the Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet. A few bucks cheaper and pretty much the same color! Minty fresh with a touch of sparkle!

Here are the polishes I used for this look!

 

{One coat base. Two coats Mint Sorbet. Sparkle on each ring finger. Top coat over all}

{style me pretty...gray nail polish!}

I think I've mentioned this before, but one of my New Year's Resolutions was to paint my nails more. It's such a simple thing, but makes me feel pretty. I've been having tons of fun trying out new colors!!! Here is the latest!

What to try it out too??? Here is what I did: A coat of the clear base, 2 coats of NYC "Sidewalkers", one coat of Essie "Set In Stones" on each ring finger {now calling it my BLING finger!}, and a coat of clear on top.

I was super impressed with the gray polish itself. Went on really evenly and dried really fast! Crazy cheap too. Got it at Target for $3.

I think I'll try mint green next. What fun nail colors have you tried lately?
